			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/socialanarchy">Instant Social Anarchy</a> (to be called &#8220;ISA&#8221; from now on) is a program that utilizes (ie. spams) social sites that are twitter clones, or micro-blogging services.  Basically, you can easily create multiple (read: hundreds of) accounts very quickly &#8211; and then post your micro-blogs or blurbs which generally contain/promote a URL.  Most will not allow anchor-text keyword links and many will, by default, use a link shortener.  Within IAS, you can create a &#8220;link pool&#8221; &#8211; which contains a list of urls and associated keywords (which it adds as hash tags since they won&#8217;t become anchor texts).  Although I don&#8217;t use the link pools when I post, I do still create and use them for account creation, since it adds those links to the user profiles it creates.  During posting, I&#8217;ll add bare URLs to the &#8220;blurb&#8221; &#8211; because they will be come clickable links, although some sites will still shorten them with a service like bit.ly (you can however, turn this off many times, in your user profile &#8211; but when you&#8217;re dealing with hundreds of accounts &#8211; who has time?).  I typically won&#8217;t use this as a means for backlinking, although it doesn&#8217;t hurt&#8230;  I use this as a means of getting my <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a> indexed and strengthened..  So posting clickable URL link is fine for these purposes.</p>
<p>ISA comes with a list of targets so you can get started with the software right away.  A &#8220;target&#8221; is a site that is utilizing one of the services it knows how to create accounts and post on.  There are 5 types of sites it can spam &#8211; Status.net (or Laconica), Yonkly, Revou, Jisko, and Elgg.  They are all pretty similar, all twitter clones.  The sites or targets that IAS comes with are already heavily abused and account creation successes are getting very far and few between.  So how do you get hundreds of accounts?  By scraping your own fresh list of targets to spam.  The easiest way to do this is to use my favorite program, &#8220;<a title="Scrapebox" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/tag/scrapebox/">Scrapebox</a>&#8221;.  </p>
<p>In order for Scrapebox to do it&#8217;s job &#8211; it needs a footprint, which is a common element within the sites you are targeting.  Footprints are typically some phrase that&#8217;s on every site that uses that software, or some common element in the URL strings.  Below, I list some common footprints you can use with Scrapebox &#8211; so it can scrape the search engines and get a fresh list of sites that have those common footprints.  There&#8217;s one problem though &#8211; Scrapebox works better when you are using a footprint WITH a keyword.  It uses one connection per keyword &#038; footprint combination.  So if you don&#8217;t enter any keywords, it will only use one connection and can only find a small amount of sites..  So what I do is scrape a list of general keywords (such as: computers, sports, electronics, celebrities, etc) &#8211; then I get a huge list of keywords associated to those and enter those in combination with the footprint &#8211; so I can have Scrapebox actually scrape a really large list of targets.  You will, of course, get a LOT of duplicates, since there are only so many sites that use these micro-blogging frameworks &#8211; but with a huge list of keywords, you should still get several hundred new targets that others won&#8217;t be abusing since they won&#8217;t bother with taking the time to do all this (even though it only takes a few minutes &#8211; internet marketers are lazy by nature&#8230; it&#8217;s why they chose this field&#8230;  they were lured by the gurus&#8217; who told them they can make money in their sleep&#8230; hah)</p>
<p>Anyhow &#8211; back to the footprints&#8230;  Here&#8217;s some footprints to get you started:</p>
<p><strong>- Footprints for: Status.net &#038; Laconica</strong><br />
allintitle:&#8221;Public timeline -&#8221;<br />
&#8220;a micro-blogging service based on the Free Software&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It runs the Laconica microblogging software, version&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It runs the Status.net microblogging software, version&#8221;<br />
allintitle &#8220;Public Timeline -&#8221;</p>
<p>Note: I found [strong]2,451[/strong] unique domain targets using Scrapebox</p>
<p><strong>- Footprints for: Yonkly</strong><br />
[FOR YAHOO] inurl:&#8221;yonkly.com&#8221;<br />
[FOR GOOGLE, BING, AOL] &#8220;Yonkly, Knowledge not Noise&#8221;</p>
<p>Note: I only found [strong]367[/strong] unique domain targets using Scrapebox (you need to scrape the yahoo footprint separately and then combine them and remove duplicates)</p>
<p><strong>- Footprints for: Revou</strong><br />
&#8220;Tell the world what you&#8217;re doing at this moment!&#8221;</p>
<p>Note: I found [strong]897[/strong] unique domain targets using this footprint. </p>
<p><strong>- Footprints for: Jisko</strong><br />
&#8220;Powered by Jisko&#8221;</p>
<p>Note: I found [strong]782[/strong] unique domains using Scrapebox</p>
<p><strong>- Footprints for: Elgg</strong><br />
&#8220;Powered by Elgg, the leading open source social networking platform&#8221;</p>
<p>Note: I found 2,742 unique domain targets using Scrapebox</p>
<p>So &#8211; I found a total of 7,239 fresh targets to use with <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/socialanarchy">ISA</a> &#8211; targets that for the most part, aren&#8217;t being abused by everyone.  And that&#8217;s only with the footprints I mentioned above.  There&#8217;s probably many more footprints that will get you more results&#8230;  And if you target other keywords too &#8211; you&#8217;ll find different targets.. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/wpblackhat">Wordpress Blackhat</a> is a <a title="blackhat" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">blackhat</a> forum that I, myself, am a participating member of.  It&#8217;s one of the most unique membership site/forums you&#8217;ll ever be a part of.  I have learned (and given back) more from this forum than any e-book, or any other site or mentor I have ever experienced.  It&#8217;s different than the others, pardon the cliché.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s main purpose is to help it&#8217;s members get better results (ie. more money) using Wordpress and various &#8220;blackhat&#8221; plugins and techniques and money making methods &#8211; however it doesn&#8217;t stop there.  There is more information packed into the conversations and discussions in the threads of this forum than you could ever find on the entire web, searching for internet <a title="marketing" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">marketing</a> techniques.  There is also a download section like none other.  Not only do they have all the new programs (hacked, cracked, shared, GB&#8217;d, etc) to help you succeed, but they even have their own in-house cracker.  So if we can&#8217;t find it cracked, they crack it themselves.  The other benefit of this forum is it&#8217;s owner/moderator &#8211; Brad.  Brad not only has extensive knowledge of blackhat techniques and wordpress, he also gives back to his forum &#8211; more than any other forum moderator/owner I&#8217;ve ever encountered.  He spends several thousand dollars each and EVERY month on the newest programs, themes, plugins, that any member shows the slightest interest in.  If they don&#8217;t already have it &#8211; they&#8217;ll get it.  You just need to ask.</p>
<p>Of the several methods that are promoted there &#8211; some of the newer ones include a complete autoblogging empire step-by-step system &#8211; including proprietary Wordpress 3.0 plugins to help keep your autoblogging content unique and keyword rich (something that is lacking with most autoblogs). He also has an extensive amount of databases, which include all sorts of information and content to add to your sites.</p>
<p>The life-time membership costs $500.  Don&#8217;t let this high-priced membership steer you away from this.  This will be the most valuable investment you&#8217;ll ever make, for your marketing career.  The programs alone are worth far more than the price of admission &#8211; let alone all the strategies, guides, plugins, and other members that are there to help.  There are NO threads that go unanswered.  The forum is extremely well kept and always updated and changing.  The cost is a life-time fee &#8211; there are no monthly fees and you will never pay another cent to benefit from this forum.  There are no up-sells, no one time offers, none of that crap.  Once you get in, you&#8217;re in for life and trust me &#8211; this is worth FAR more than $500.  This is one of the only forums I participate in regularly.</p>
<p>There are only a limited # of seats left. And no, this isn&#8217;t a scare tactic.  This is real.  Don&#8217;t let the last spots get taken before you sign up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/articledrove">Article Drove</a> is a great, new article writing service.  It&#8217;s similar to other member-based article sites &#8211; in that they have writers on staff, you pay a nominal monthly fee, and order and receive articles administered by their member site.  Where Article Drove differs is in the extremely easy to use website &#8211; it&#8217;s a very simple site to navigate, and really quick/easy to order articles based on your exact specifications (such as long-tail keywords, word count, document type, style of writing &#8211; ie. promotional, seo, article submission site, etc). And my experience with other article sites is that the quality of the content is hit or miss &#8211; depending on the writer you get.  The quality of the articles I&#8217;ve received from Article Drove is definitely top-notch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/articledrove">&#8211; CLICK HERE TO JOIN ARTICLE DROVE &#8211;</a></p>
<p>Once you order your articles, the amount gets deducted from your balance (which you pre-load) and you get your articles within the specified time.  When I ordered my articles, and I got them the next day (I do not know if this is typical though).  Every article was extremely well-written. The articles are so good that I am using them for my &#8220;money site&#8221; content.  I give this service an A+.</p>
<p>After you create an account and login, the first thing you need to do is add funds to your account.  You can add funds easily via Paypal.</p>
<p>When you login &#8211; you&#8217;ll see two main options in the &#8220;Dashboard&#8221; &#8211; Create New Article and View All Articles.  Viewing your articles is how you can check to see if the articles are done (you will also get notified via email when they are completed) and if so, you can download the completed articles there.</p>
<p>When you select &#8220;Create new article&#8221; &#8211; you&#8217;re brought to the main order page where you configure the type of article(s) you need.  It starts with the article title.  Below that you can select whether you want expedited service (36 hour delivery).  This is good if you are in a rush for content.  The next step is to state how many words per article you want.  I typically go for 500 words for web 2.0 properties or general content, but for money sites, you should go for longer articles, 750 words or more.  It will be worth it in my opinion &#8211; the more content, the more authority you will seem to have in the eyes of the search engines (of course, this is my opinion and not fact).</p>
<p>The next step is to specify your keywords.  The more keywords, the more expensive.  Generally, I stick to one keyword (which is included in the price of the article) per article &#8211; but for longer articles, you might want to add another.  Then they ask for Keyword density.  Personally, I don&#8217;t care &#8211; but I definitely want it minimized so I can submit to sites like Ezine Articles.  I&#8217;d just enter 1%.  The next question is pretty unique &#8211; it asks what Style you want the article to be written. The choices are: SEO Informative, SEO Promotional, Blog content, forum content, and Ezine qualified article.  I&#8217;d choose SEO informative if you are worried about keyword placement, etc..  Blog content for web 2.0 properties, and Ezine qualified article for money sites and article site submissions.  Then you select what type of output you want the article given to you in.  This is good because sometimes you get some strange formats with extra characters.. I&#8217;ve seen it all&#8230; You can choose from: .doc, .docx, .txt, and .html.</p>
<p>The rest of the questions are optional, like special instructions, summaries, they&#8217;ll add a resource box and/or bio box if you want.. You can have your keywords highlighted, and can have the article sources listed (this is good so you know where the content came from and can compare if needed &#8211; this is important for money site content so you can be sure you&#8217;re not ripping someone off).</p>
<p>All in all &#8211; this website and service is very easy to use and I can vouch for the quality of articles written &#8211; the articles I ordered were excellent.  Like I said before &#8211; they are good enough to put on money sites, for sure.</p>
<p>If you want to join Article Drove &#8211; there&#8217;s a nominal monthly fee of $9.95 but it&#8217;s well worth it if you continually need quality articles at very good prices.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/articledrove">&#8211; CLICK HERE TO JOIN ARTICLE DROVE &#8211;</a></p>
<p>UPDATE:  There&#8217;s now a $1 Trial being offered.  Try out their service for $1 for the first week.  After the week is up, you&#8217;ll get charged the remainder for the month.  This is an easy way to test them out to make sure the quality is up to par.  <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/articledrove-freetrial">CLICK HERE FOR $1 WEEK TRIAL</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Instant Social Anarchy is another automation tool and as you can probably guess from the name &#8211; it&#8217;s about dominating social sites, specifically micro blog sites.  I&#8217;m sure you know about Twitter, and those types of social sites &#8211; well, these are sort of like twitter clones.  They mostly use the Status.net platform, as well as Revou.  Basically, these are sites that let you easily create accounts and post your &#8220;updates&#8221; on them &#8211; limited to a # of characters (something like 140 or 160 characters) &#8211; just like Twitter.  What&#8217;s different about these sites is that they are do-follow links.  Naturally, they get abused and although there are some sites that are high traffic, high page rank&#8230; Most are not.  But that&#8217;s okay &#8211; you&#8217;re here to get easy <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a>, and that&#8217;s exactly what this tool does for you, and it does it well.</p>
<p>The tool itself is extremely easy to use, very fast, and you can be well on your way to having hundreds of accounts and hundreds of posts within a couple hours of purchasing this program. It&#8217;s that quick!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/socialanarchy">&#8211; Click here to buy Instant Social Anarchy &#8211;</a></p>
<p>The strength of this tool (and it&#8217;s weakness) lies in the targets it&#8217;s exploiting (status.net and revou).  They are extremely easy to spam &#8211; and I don&#8217;t foresee that changing anytime soon so I am guessing this tool has a long shelf-life.  As you know, many tools that do things &#8220;too well&#8221; &#8211; end up ruining the very targets it&#8217;s exploiting because too many people take advantage of the loopholes &#8211; too quickly.  You&#8217;ll see this happening all the time with Web 2.0 properties that tools like Senuke uses..  That&#8217;s one of the reasons programs like Senuke and SerpAssist are so expensive.  The programmers need to stay on top of all the different platforms (there are a lot of them) and make changes when the platforms change.  This is very time-consuming.  However, status.net sites have been around for awhile and have been spammed since the beginning and nothing has really changed.  For example &#8211; the reason Instant Social Anarchy can create so many accounts so quickly is because it doesn&#8217;t have to verify the emails!  (That little nugget was provided by a friend &#8211; Omgriffin)  Here&#8217;s another tip: Do you know what other site doesn&#8217;t make you verify the email?  TWITTER.COM  &#8212; Yes, you see a warning at the top, but go test it out &#8211; having that warning message that you haven&#8217;t verified your email doesn&#8217;t prevent you from doing anything on Twitter.  So they are just opening the floodgates for spammers to have their way, and that&#8217;s exactly what this tool does.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start by going through step-by-step &#8211; what you need to do to start utilizing this tool.</p>
<p><strong>1. Create your project:</strong> First &#8211; you choose a project name.  I typically will choose a name corresponding to the domain or niche I&#8217;m promoting.  Then you select which networks to spam.  The networks available right now are Status.net, Yonkly, Revou, Jisko, and Elgg.  You also are able to add your Twitter username and password &#8211; I&#8217;ve never done this and I&#8217;m not positive on what it does (it obviously will post to Twitter but I don&#8217;t know how often or what it&#8217;s posting &#8211; in the documentation it mentions something about posting your affiliate links for Instant Social Anarchy here, but again, I don&#8217;t know what this entails.).  You then select your Profile Template &#8211; this is basically just giving your profile a name and adding a bio or &#8220;about me&#8221; text.  This is where you can put something like &#8220;I&#8217;m a stay at home mom working part-time on the internet&#8221;.  You want to make it sound natural.  After you select your template, there&#8217;s a checkbox to allow posting to explicit sites.  What this means is that it will post to sites that are adult in nature (there are several sites that cater to adult subject matter).  Depending on what you are promoting, you might not want to associate with this type of link so it&#8217;s up to you..  Next &#8211; Save your project.</p>
<p><strong>2. Register Accounts -</strong> This is extremely easy (one of the best things about this program is that it&#8217;s quick and easy to use).  Here, you choose &#8220;concurrent tasks&#8221; level which is just how many threads you want it to use.  If you have an old computer, set it low, below 10.  If you have a new(er) computer, set it to the max, 35 I believe.  I set mine to the max &#8211; it goes much quicker then.  Captcha Service &#8211; you can choose between 3 services I believe.  And this part is a little strange.  The user interface for this part is very annoying because it&#8217;s not very easy to tell how to select a different service.  In the menu tabs at the top &#8211; there is a &#8220;Manage Anti-Captcha Services&#8221; menu option where it slides out the list of services. Although it doesn&#8217;t slide out all available services &#8211; only what&#8217;s default to be setup.  So you have to CLICK on the menu option &#8220;Anti-Captcha Services&#8221; &#8211; and then, and only then will you be able to select a different service.  I use Decaptcher, as it&#8217;s the cheapest I believe&#8230; Many other services are just white-labeling Decaptcher&#8217;s service anyhow and charging a premium for it.  Go with the source I always say&#8230;  The next part of the Register Accounts setup is the Link Pool. This is where you tell the program which urls to promote and what anchor text to use.  You can upload a CSV file in this section &#8211; and it&#8217;s in this format:</p>
<p>url;keyword1,keyword2,keyword3</p>
<p>So I would just create a text file with your text file editor, and write them out.  HOWEVER &#8211; the platforms you are exploiting, they use link shorteners (like Bit.ly) and you can argue that you won&#8217;t get the link juice that you would using normal anchor text links&#8230;  So even though I don&#8217;t use this in my posts, it will pull this information when creating the accounts and using those links in your profile so you should still create a link pool.</p>
<p>The next step is optional &#8211; using custom usernames.  If you don&#8217;t use a custom username, it will select a random set of characters (random letters) which looks really spammy and is not ideal for SEO purposes but it does so to make sure the accounts get created (using a username that&#8217;s already existent will make the program not create the account).  The other reason you should use random usernames is that it leaves less of a footprint (ie &#8211; the SE&#8217;s won&#8217;t see all the same username posting a thousand links in one day).  It&#8217;s up to you &#8211; I recommend using both.  Ideally, the program will get updated so that you can spin the username.  Until then, I&#8217;d try using both and see how your results compare.  I haven&#8217;t done enough testing to say which way is better.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it &#8211; just hit &#8220;Register Accounts Now&#8221; and it churns away, creating hundreds of accounts for you.  It&#8217;s that easy..  Like I said before, there&#8217;s no email verification or anything.  In less than an hour, you&#8217;ll have hundreds of accounts on several platforms.</p>
<p><strong>3. Submit Your Post:</strong> Here is where you create a spun post.  Just type in the post you want to write &#8211; remember there&#8217;s a limited # of characters, although I&#8217;m not sure what the limit is.  Just think of Twitter when writing your posts.  I recommend putting bare URLs as they turn into links anyways.  This will get you better link juice then using a link shortener.  Make sure you spin the URL so it&#8217;s not all posting to the same URL or site.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s really it&#8230;  You can choose your link pool, and choose the # of threads (I would put it to the max but you may have to lower the # of threads if you are using an old computer), but other than that &#8211; it will log into your accounts and submit your posts extremely fast.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s two other features that this program will do for you &#8211; join groups and add friends.  I have no idea how beneficial this is to your campaign. I have to do further testing..  But it doesn&#8217;t hurt &#8211; it makes the accounts seem more natural.  It may increase your accounts&#8217; lifespan but I don&#8217;t know that for sure.  I checked some of the accounts that I had created and they did in fact have friends and joined groups &#8211; but when looking at the groups, they mostly looked like it was one or two memebers, and the rest were Instant Social Anarchy accounts so I highly doubt you&#8217;re going to get any increased traffic from this.  In fact, I doubt you&#8217;ll see any traffic from these sites&#8230;</p>
<p>This tool is NOT going to get you to the top of Google.  This tool will NOT bring thousands of visitors to your site.  What this tool does is get you <strong>QUICK and EASY links</strong> &#8211; and it does so very well.  These sites are pretty spammy and low quality.  That does NOT mean they are worthless.  In fact, this program is very good at getting your sites indexed.  I have seen backlinks already showing in YSE from this and it&#8217;s only been a couple days so it does in fact work and it works quickly.  These sites are constantly updated because of the nature of them, so they are spidered frequently &#8211; thus your links show up in the index very quickly.  And the links you post will get indexed very quickly as well.  I suggest running a campaign from Senuke or SerpAssist or <a title="Xrumer" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">Xrumer</a> and then put those links through this program.  You&#8217;ll see significant increase in indexing time &#8211; plus you add link juice to those links, making them more powerful.</p>
<p>Another good thing about this program is that it&#8217;s a one time fee.  You pay once, and you don&#8217;t have to pay again.  I&#8217;m not going to tell you that this tool is better than all the rest &#8211; that you should only get this tool and nothing else.  In fact, quite the opposite.  If you DON&#8217;T have any other tools &#8211; then I wouldn&#8217;t recommend this.  As I am mainly using this to index URLS that get created from OTHER tools.  If you use Xrumer, <a title="Scrapebox" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/tag/scrapebox/">Scrapebox</a>, SerpAssist, or Senuke &#8211; then this tool is a fantastic supplemental tool in your arsenal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I use several programs from Howie &#8211; most are available from the <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/howiesprivatelab">Howie&#8217;s Private Lab</a> package&#8230;</p>
<p>I want to start out by saying a few things about Howie&#8230;  I know many of you don&#8217;t like his tactics.  I hate all the spam I get from his crap.  I hate the fact that he said he was going to &#8220;retire&#8221; which ended up being a publicity stunt &#8211; trying to get people to one of his workshops because it was going to be his last&#8230;  He didn&#8217;t retire.. didn&#8217;t even slow down &#8211; if anything, he got more involved with his email spam campaigns <img src='http://www.marketingplaythings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  I hate the fact that he promoted this amazing tool that was supposed to be the next SeNuke killer &#8211; doing tasks in hours that would take a whole team of outsourcers to do in weeks&#8230;  This tool never worked..</p>
<p>That being said &#8211; there ARE some tools that he created (or had created) that DO work &#8211; and they do some very cool things..  Tools that are different than a lot of the crap that&#8217;s out there.  And this is what I&#8217;m going to talk about in this post&#8230;</p>
<p>There are two main programs of Howie&#8217;s that I recommend..</p>
<p>The first is <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/imleadership">IM Leadership</a>.  This is a program that includes some videos, some case studies, some blueprints, but that&#8217;s not all you get.  You get access to the IM Leadership forum.  This is run by a guy named Martin.  This guy, Martin, knows more about local <a title="marketing" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">marketing</a> than anyone I&#8217;ve ever met or read about.  You can ask him questions on the forum, and you&#8217;ll get your answer, sometimes the same day.  He knows his stuff and he shares it freely on the forum.  This forum is worth ten times what you pay for IM Leadership.  If you want to go into selling your SEO expertise to local businesses &#8211; then IM Leadership is all you need. I&#8217;ve spoken to SEVERAL people IN PERSON that have utilized the information that&#8217;s available to IM Leadership members and they now have a dozen clients that pay EVERY month &#8211; local businesses that pay $2K a month for you to promote their business online.  And let me tell you &#8211; it&#8217;s MUCH easier than doing affiliate marketing.  Local SEO is MUCH easier to dominate.  Take *ANY* keyword in *ANY* market, and add a local town, city, or even state, and you bring the competition down to levels where it would take you a week or two to dominate.  Compare that to month&#8217;s of SEO work to dominate a more general, national market that a billion other affiliates are promoting&#8230; There&#8217;s just no comparison. I could go on and on about this but I want to talk about some other cool programs of Howie&#8217;s that I use.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/howiesprivatelab">Howie&#8217;s Private Lab</a></p>
<p>In Howie&#8217;s Private Lab, there are dozens of programs/scripts (some you&#8217;ll never need &#8211; but some are very useful and very unique).  Note: these are all hosted online &#8211; they aren&#8217;t programs you run on your workstation.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some of what you&#8217;ll get:</p>
<p><strong><a title="Automation Tools" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/category/marketing-tools/">Automation Tools</a></strong></p>
<p>The Article Tool 2.0<br />

<p>Google Black Hat Scraper<br />

BONUS: Web 3.0 Visibility &#8211; Rank Checker</p>
<p>And then there are about 3 dozen more &#8220;quick tools&#8221; which are things like page rank checker, broken links checker, spider simulator, and much, much more.  Most of these rarely work though, so I ignore them.</p>
<p>Let me explain some of the tools that I personally use on a daily basis.</p>
<p><strong>Feedgeneration:</strong> Amazing <a title="blackhat" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">blackhat</a> tool that scrapes content from numerous sources, creates SEVERAL (hundreds) of RSS feeds.  What&#8217;s unique about these feeds is this &#8211; they are from several sources, all mashed together, and the item titles become links that you provide (your URLs that you want to promote or get indexed) &#8211; so it takes the item title and uses that as the anchor text..  Then it adds your keywords and links before AND after the content (you tell it how many links to add and using your keywords for anchor text)..  It doesn&#8217;t stop there &#8211; these are projects that are continually being added to&#8230; So your project could start out with just 5 feeds, but a couple months from now &#8211; that same project will have grown into 200 feeds, with thousands of items, all containing your links&#8230; This is amazing for getting your content indexed AND getting them <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a>..  AND you can use it as autoblog content &#8211; which will have your links in them..  The uses are endless.</p>
<p><strong>Blackhat Scraper:</strong> This is a tool that monitors all the major pharmaceutical and gambling keywords and then notes down all the sites that are ranking in the first page of Google.  It keeps a list of them and sorts it by how many times they show up in the first page.  You can find out which sites are ranking well at the present time in Google.  This is very useful information because you can then get links from these sites yourself.</p>
<p>People Generation (creates several profiles on some social sites, etc)</p>
<p><strong>DocPoster:</strong> Posts documents you create onto doc sharing sites &lt;&#8211; these aren&#8217;t the best for backlinks, the sites usually use flash, and the links may not be followed BUT they almost Always end up on the first page of google for any keyword I try&#8230;  This is great for traffic..</p>
<p><strong>Pad creator and submitter:</strong> This program creates a screensaver using images it scrapes from Google images using your keywords, and then creates a pad file with your links in them &#8211; and it then submits them to software sites. These sites put your links in the descriptions so it&#8217;s an easy way to get more backlinks..</p>
<p><strong>Press release submitter:</strong> This creates accounts automatically for you on all the free press release sites and then uploads your articles with your links in them, to the sites..</p>
<p><strong>Podcast submitter:</strong> This actually takes your articles and creates a podcast out of them &#8211; it then submits to podcast sites and you get more backlinks&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>And Datafeed Site Generator:</strong> This will create whole websites based off of product feeds you get from various sources (CJ, Amazon, Shareasale, wherever).  Great way to create huge, product filled sites.  Very cool.</p>
<p>As you can see, you get a ton of tools from this package.  You won&#8217;t use everything that&#8217;s available but the ones I specifically mention are very helpful in promoting your sites in many different ways.  It&#8217;s important to get links from varying sources.  These types of tools help you accomplish this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple posts back, I mentioned a paid link network called <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/linxboss">LinxBoss</a>.  I started using this service a month ago and I figured I should report back with my results&#8230;</p>
<p>I setup 5 sites &#8211; each getting 200 links each (this is the default and base subscription level &#8211; something I plan on upgrading in a month if the results stay consistent).  For each site &#8211; I followed the best practices which I talked about on my initial post <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/linxboss-a-different-link-network/">here</a>.  It&#8217;s basically just not overdoing the # of keywords and the # of pages (keeping it to about 2 pages and 2 keywords each).  You don&#8217;t want to add too many pages or keywords because you are only getting 200 links per month and if you spread yourself too thin, you will not see the results you&#8217;d expect.</p>
<p>Let me give you some background history on the sites&#8230;</p>
<p>3 of the 5 sites are aged about 2 years, and are actually cloaked &#8211; meaning they are just landing pages for human traffic coming from search engines, but are really blogs with thousands of posts using garbage content from a <a title="blackhat" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">blackhat</a> plugin.  They were *NOT* ranking for my key terms, but they were ranking somewhat okay for long tail traffic.  Basically, they made only a few hundred dollars every couple months (each site)..  The landing pages were CPA offers&#8230; I did some heavy backlinking when I launched these sites but haven&#8217;t really touched them in over a year..</p>
<p>1 of the sites was a niche blog that I started about 9 months ago.  It was ranking just okay&#8230; not too much traffic.. I make about a hundred dollars a month from this one&#8230; It&#8217;s a clickbank product site.  I promoted this one pretty heavily for the first 3-5 months but have slowed down a lot in the last couple months&#8230;</p>
<p>The last site is a new site I started about a month ago &#8211; did some very minimal backlinking, a legit press release, and some video submissions&#8230; This one is the only non-wordpress site &#8211; it&#8217;s a very small, e-commerce (php) site selling real products.</p>
<p>I chose these 5 sites because it gives me a broad range for the testing&#8230; ie.  some somewhat aged domains, blackhat sites with junk content, quality site that&#8217;s under a year old and a brand new site that doesn&#8217;t have many <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a> and is not a wordpress blog.  I wanted to find out what kind of sites Linxboss would work well with&#8230;</p>
<p>Here are the results (and so far, I think this is fantastic):</p>
<p>I am using the difference in rank position from the starting point (where I ranked when I added the site into Linxboss) and where it stands now.  There&#8217;s a few things about this that aren&#8217;t 100% because if I wasn&#8217;t ranking for the particular keyword at the starting point, and I am ranking for it now (it happened with about 8-10 keywords &#8211; total) &#8211; it assigned it a crazy value for the number difference&#8230; it assigned it a change of X where X would be the # of competing pages.. This makes sense because of I didn&#8217;t rank at all before, and now I rank at say position 5, and lets say the # of competing pages was 1000, that means the # of change is 995..  That number would throw off the averages&#8230; since the # of competing pages was sometimes in the hundred million range..  So obviously I couldn&#8217;t use that number &#8211; I assigned them a value of 500&#8230;  So keep that in mind when I show you the results below..</p>
<p>Site 1 (Quality blog &#8211; about 9 months old): For 14 keywords, the average POSITIVE change in position is <strong>73.6</strong>.  What that means is that if my keywords were in the 100th position, they are now in the 26th position.  So on average &#8211; each keyword improved 73.6 position slots  (These are averages&#8230;  so some of the keywords went from being the 20th position to the first position, and so on)</p>
<p>Site 2 (New non-wp blog selling real products): For 14 keywords, the average change in position is 164.33 (again, this is a positive change &#8211; meaning ranking improved this much on average for each keyword).  Note: SEVERAL keywords are now on the first page of Google (some in the first position) where as before, they were located on the 6th to 10th page.</p>
<p>Site 3 (Cloaked Splog): For 8 keywords &#8211; average improvement in rank position: 246.43</p>
<p>Site 4 (Cloaked Splog): For 12 keywords &#8211; average improvement in rank position 134.25</p>
<p>Site 5 (Cloaked Splog): No change &#8211; most not even ranking at all (and never were) for the chosen keywords&#8230;  Not sure what&#8217;s up with this blog. I get traffic, so it&#8217;s obviously ranking for long tail keywords but not at all for target keywords.  It&#8217;s not penalized or de-indexed either&#8230;  This one is a mystery&#8230;</p>
<p>So 4 out of 5 sites have improved DRAMATICALLY.  And for the most part &#8211; the only change is LinxBoss.  The Quality blog and the new e-commerce site did have some outsourced backlinking during this period &#8211; but it was minimal and I definitely attribute the changes due to LinxBoss.</p>
<p>This is just the FIRST month!</p>
<p>Word of warning&#8230;  Don&#8217;t bother checking the results for at least 3 weeks&#8230;  I checked every week and after 2 weeks &#8211; my rankings for the quality blog dropped severely..  I attribute this to Google analyzing &#8220;new data&#8221;.  This happens with new sites and any site where you make dramatic changes either to on-site SEO or off-site SEO (linking).  This happens all the time.  If you try Linxboss out (and I recommend that you do) &#8211; don&#8217;t worry about your rankings after a few weeks because they make get worse before they get better but if you stick around &#8211; I think you&#8217;ll like the results.  I will post another update next month.</p>
<p>What these results tell me is that this system can be used on NEW sites as well as OLD sites.  However, as I stated in my initial review &#8211; you should NOT rely solely on this type of system.  The links you are getting from systems like these are &#8230; well, they&#8217;re pretty easy to figure out (footprints).  So you want to mix them up with other links (bookmarks, blog comments, profile links, social sites, no-follow links, press releases, forum signatures, whatever!).</p>
<p>Remember &#8211; Linxboss is a CLOSED membership &#8211; so when you click the link below, and fill out the form, you&#8217;ll be put on a waiting list.  When I joined, I also had to go on a waiting list, but I was contacted in a week saying I can join, so I don&#8217;t think the wait is that long. I definitely recommend you give LinxBoss a try.  It&#8217;s worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/autoblogblueprint">Autoblog Blueprint 2.0</a> is the most comprehensive guide to building out your autoblog empire, that I have ever seen.  This is one product or guide that I can truly stand behind.  I&#8217;ve bought/downloaded/shared thousands of methods, get rich quick schemes, <a title="blackhat" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">blackhat</a> methods, traffic generation techniques, ebooks, etc&#8230;  and most aren&#8217;t worth the bytes that they take up on your HDD.  In fact, most of them cost you much more than what you paid for &#8211; they cost you WASTED TIME.  And that, my friends, is priceless&#8230;  You can never get it back.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/autoblogblueprint">Click Here To Get Autoblog Blueprint 2.0</a><br />
<strong>$50 Off Coupon Code: BEC006C89A</strong></p>
<p>The Autoblog Blueprint 2.0 is not just a couple videos and a couple PDFs; it&#8217;s a COMPLETE system involving NUMEROUS steps, modules, plugins, themes, headers, and a forum (with a wealth of information) &#8211; all outlining every step it takes to create a money making autoblog empire.  Whether you want to build a blog network to promote your &#8220;true&#8221; money sites, or you want an autoblog empire that will become your money sites, or (if you do what I do), build a link network that is ALSO monetized in such a way, so that even if your money sites don&#8217;t produce what you intended, the link network behind it will not only be paying for itself, but will also be bringing in money that you can actually live on.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect a short list of steps, with a cookie cutter wordpress configuration that you can duplicate a hundred times and expect to retire.  As with any program that you expect to make money with &#8211; the more you put into it, the more you&#8217;ll get out of it.  You can probably find that anywhere and trust me &#8211; you won&#8217;t be doing yourself a favor by using it.  I don&#8217;t recommend anything that I don&#8217;t personally use and have benefited from &#8211; so please trust me when I say that this is worth the price of admission&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll get, with your lifetime membership of <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/autoblogblueprint">Autoblog Blueprint 2.0</a>:</p>
<p>You get an Autoblog optimized wordpress setup file &#8211; which is a copy of wordpress fully loaded with all the recommended plugins and settings.  This is just a base setup though &#8211; you still need to customize it to your needs&#8230;  You also get some headers and wp themes &#8211; but the rest of the program is spread out into 4 main modules and the forum which is very helpful.  Here&#8217;s a rundown of the rest of the blueprint:</p>
<p>When you login to the membership site &#8211; you&#8217;ll see a top navigation comprising of 7 main links:</p>
<p><strong>- Getting Started</strong><br />
This is the first place you should go to when logging in for the first time. It explains, in general terms, how the site is laid out, what to expect, where to get started (obviously), talks about the 30 day money-back guarantee, and a brief overview of the program/method.</p>
<p><strong>- Module 1</strong><br />
Planning your strategy (Niche Research, Domains, Hosting): This page goes through what you should be thinking about when setting up your autoblog empire.  I think this is the most important information you could ever read because once you get the basis for your strategy and planning down, the rest is just repetition.  The best advice I can give someone is to come up with a strategy and REPLICATE it.  Obviously it has to be a strategy that brings in some money &#8211; so developing it will not be easy and it won&#8217;t be overnight&#8230;  It will be ever changing and improving &#8211; but once you get the broad strokes down, you can always improve on the next site (which will hopefully bring in more money than the last, and so on).  The best part about having a winning strategy documented is that you can then hand it over (parts and pieces) to outsourcers (your team) and then THEY can replicate it &#8211; and multiply your income.  This module goes through three steps (Niche research, domains, and hosting).  Videos and text instructions are included&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>- Module 2</strong><br />
Auto Blog SEO Overview: This module is about getting your blogs installed correctly, installing the right plugins, putting together a theme, and what essential pages you need on all your sites. Videos and text instructions are included&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>- Module 3</strong><br />
Content and Monetization Overview: Module 3 is about how you get your site indexed and monetized.  It goes through how you plan on making money with your sites and what techniques to use. Videos and text instructions are included&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>- Module 4</strong><br />
Backlinking: This module goes through how you will promote your site (getting <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a> to your site) and how to use social media to maximize the traffic to your site. Videos and text instructions are included&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>- Quick Start Guide</strong><br />
This page goes through each step briefly. It just gives you a broad strokes idea of what you need to do next.  Assuming you know most of the details, this is a good page to go to for a quick rundown&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>- Forum</strong><br />
Here is where you will probably find a lot of your questions answered.  Forums are a great way to communicate to other users, and especially the programmer/product owner.  If you have any issues with any of the steps outlined in the membership, you can ask them here &#8211; and what&#8217;s great about forums is that your question is probably already answered &#8211; so just do a search before posting it.</p>
<p>All in all &#8211; this is a lifetime membership and will be improved upon (I initially bought into this awhile ago &#8211; back when it was version 1, and because I was a customer then &#8211; I got upgraded for free to version 2.0.  I assume the same will happen once v3.0 comes out).  More videos, and instructions, and techniques will always be coming out and you can bet that it will be added to this membership site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/linxboss">LinxBoss</a> is yet another link network.  There&#8217;s tons of linking programs out there, and they are all very similar, but some are more complex than others.  Pay attention to what I&#8217;m about to say &#8211; ANY and ALL link networks will *NOT* get you results by themselves.  They will rarely get you relative niche-related sites linking to you.  You might get a page relative to your niche because the system let you write the post, but the rest of the sites&#8217; content will most likely be on several other topics (if not hundreds of other topics).  Plus there is most likely some sort of footprint, whether it be the framework of the sites they have in their network, the IP&#8217;s (though most good networks will have a variety of IP ranges &#8211; definitely double check this!), or a template they commonly use, or just the way they link to you (always in a sidebar, or at the bottom, or whatever).  I&#8217;m sure there are good networks that limit the footprint, but again &#8211; you should never SOLELY rely on the link networks to get the rankings you want/need.  You&#8217;re going to have to do some other linking efforts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/linxboss" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://aff.linxboss.com/banners/rev1_250x250.gif" border="0" alt="LinxBoss Fully Automated SEO Linking" width="250" height="250" /></a>What link networks are good for is SUPPLEMENTING your efforts.  A good link network will get you consistent linking.  This is very important.  Typically, a self-promoted site will have this type of link velocity: it get lots of <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a> one week (or one day), then none or very few the next, and then a bunch more one week, month, or day, then none or very few.  This goes on and on.  It&#8217;s just they way we work.  So there are spikes in the promotion of the site.  This is a fairly obvious footprint to Google saying that you are trying to manipulate their search results.  Natural link growth is slow and steady (and yeah, there are some spikes for things like viral content, etc, but for the most part &#8211; it&#8217;s slow and steady).  This is why link networks are (for the most part) good for supplementing your own efforts.  When you stop linking to your site for any given amount of time, your link network keeps on going.  It should consistently get you links every day or every week.</p>
<p>This is where <a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/linxboss">LinxBoss</a> comes in.  This is a linking network &#8211; and it&#8217;s a little different from some of it&#8217;s competitors.  First of all &#8211; it&#8217;s not a blog network where you submit articles or content with your links embedded in the content or a resource box.  You just submit urls and keywords which the system uses for anchor text.  It then places the links on a categorized site (you choose the categories &#8211; it&#8217;s got plenty of choices) &#8211; and they have a HUGE network of sites (over 1700 sites and it&#8217;s growing every day).</p>
<p>So this makes the system extremely easy and painless.  There&#8217;s no content to worry about.  Of course, it&#8217;s a trade-off.  You don&#8217;t get the relative content surrounding your links.  BUT that&#8217;s okay because you aren&#8217;t going to be ONLY using this system for your link building efforts, right?  You&#8217;ll be submitting articles and blog posts anyways.  Like I stated before &#8211; this is to SUPPLEMENT your efforts, not replace them.</p>
<p>You start out by setting up a site.  You get 5 sites for the main subscription price (which you can upgrade if you need more sites to promote).  You can add as many pages as you want, and you can assign 4 keywords per page.  You get 1000 links every month.  What that means is you get 200 links per site, per month.  This is important because it splits that 200 between the # of pages you setup, AND the keywords you assign.  I&#8217;ll talk about &#8220;best practices&#8221; and what to avoid, later.  Once you setup the site (all you do is give it a name and domain url and choose whether you want to use Google USA or Google UK, etc &#8211; for ranking reports), you then just have to setup the linking page (page urls, keywords, and categories).</p>
<p>The linking setup is really simple.  Just add the url, a primary keyword to use, and a secondary keyword to use (you can have up to 3 secondaries, for a total of 4 keywords per page), and choose the category that you want the link to be associated with. You can setup as many pages per site as you want. That&#8217;s it! Oh and you can setup &#8220;other&#8221; keywords that you want it to track your rankings for, but not necessarily use as links.   Again &#8211; I&#8217;ll talk about what you should and shouldn&#8217;t do, later.</p>
<p>The next step is where LinxBoss truly separates itself from the rest of the herd.  It&#8217;s called L4L or &#8220;Links For Links&#8221;.  The system actually goes out and finds the backlinks that your site already has (it shows you the list) and starts to build MORE backlinks to your backlinks.  It &#8220;promotes the promoters&#8221;.  It builds off of what you have already done for your site.  This doesn&#8217;t cost anything extra either, and it doesn&#8217;t subtract from your 1000 links. It&#8217;s completely automatic &#8211; all you do is tell it the long tail keywords to use as anchor text (add at least 10 long tail keywords).  This is a VERY beneficial feature to utilize.  When setting up your pages and keywords, REMEMBER to click L4L to setup the &#8220;Links for Links&#8221;.</p>
<p>Another upcoming feature of L4L is &#8220;offsets&#8221; and &#8220;authority pages&#8221;.  I&#8217;m not positive what these will look like because they&#8217;re not released yet (as of the date of this post) but they should be released this week.  It&#8217;s supposed to look at the backlinks of your competitors and the ranking sites and will locate other links that you, too, can get for your site.  It won&#8217;t get the links FOR you, but it will tell you the sites to try to get the links from &#8211; and then you do it yourself, and then you enter the URLS where your backlinks are so that it will start pushing backlinks to those urls as well.  Again, this is included in your subscription.  It doesn&#8217;t cost anything extra.  The L4L system definitely makes this link network unique. I don&#8217;t know of any other that does this type of thing.</p>
<p><strong>Best Practices</strong></p>
<p>In your linking (pages/keywords) setup, you don&#8217;t want to add too many pages or too many keywords because the # of links will be spread too thin to see any results.  This is a BIG mistake for people trying out the network.  They think (and I did at first, too) that it&#8217;s better to have links going to numerous pages and using numerous keywords so that you limit the footprint.  DON&#8217;T DO IT!  Setup just a couple pages and a couple keywords per page to start.  That&#8217;s it!  Of course, you can change it at anytime &#8211; and you should once you get the rankings you want for those pages.  But you don&#8217;t want to spread yourself too thin.  Think about it &#8211; let&#8217;s say you setup 10 pages on a site, and add 4 keywords for every page.  The primary keyword gets 50% of the links, and the secondaries (you can have 3 secondaries) split up the remaining 50% of the links.  So if you get 200 links per month &#8211; each page is only getting 20 links per month. (That&#8217;s not enough for ANY campaign)  Each page&#8217;s primary keyword is only getting 10 links and the other keywords are splitting up the remaining 10 links per month.  That will NOT help much!!  Sure the domain as a whole still gets 200 links per month but you won&#8217;t see the specific rankings for your specific keywords &#8211; you&#8217;ll be getting &#8220;authority&#8221; because of the # of links, but that&#8217;s it.  You need to limit the keywords and the pages you add to the system.</p>
<p>Linxboss comes with a &#8220;traction&#8221; report.  It&#8217;s basically a ranking report.  It lists all the keywords that you added to the system, and checks Google and Yahoo and then reports what your ranking positions are for those keywords. It even keeps a history so you can your rankings improve or decline.  So far, I&#8217;ve seen it to be very accurate, although it doesn&#8217;t update very often (I think it&#8217;s every 4 days or something like that).</p>
<p>The training is very good &#8211; helpful videos are included that go through every step.  Like I said, this system is extremely easy to setup (I had all 5 sites setup within 15 minutes) and is run completely on auto-pilot. The only reason to log in again is to make changes (don&#8217;t make too many changes at first) or to check the progress of your ranking positions.  It will tell you exactly how much it&#8217;s helping so if you try it out for a few months, and followed the best practices (they have several videos on this) &#8211; and you don&#8217;t see any results (I can&#8217;t believe you wouldn&#8217;t though) &#8211; then cancel your subscription!  The links are permanent. You won&#8217;t lose them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using the system for only a month and I already see results.  I haven&#8217;t been using it for very long, so I can&#8217;t conclusively tell you whether it&#8217;s worth the $127.  I&#8217;ve setup 5 sites &#8211; some aged, some pretty new, some already have thousands of backlinks, some with under a hundred or two &#8211; so I&#8217;ll post my findings when I have enough data to provide.  I really think I&#8217;ll see some good results (I already am seeing significant improvement in the short amount of time I&#8217;ve been using it) but again &#8211; I don&#8217;t want to give a false impression&#8230; I don&#8217;t have conclusive data yet.</p>
<p>NOTE: LinxBoss is *CLOSED*.  A network this good has to set a max number of clients otherwise the network will get too diluted (too many out-bound links, a finite # of sites, etc).  That being said &#8211; there are openings when a member closes their account.  Click the link above and you will get put on a &#8220;waiting list&#8221;.  Don&#8217;t worry!  I get my account after just a week of waiting.</p>
<p>I highly advise you to get on the waiting list.  I don&#8217;t know how long they will even allow waiting list signups&#8230;  They&#8217;re offering a LOT for the price, especially since they added the &#8220;Links For Links&#8221; system.  I can&#8217;t imagine they will have this publically available for much longer.  Get in while you can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone knows that video&#8217;s get fairly good search engine rankings&#8230;  I typically don&#8217;t create videos for traffic &#8211; I usually just try to get links from the descriptions and profiles of the video sites..  It&#8217;s also a good way to just get more positions in the top ten results (bumping out your competition).  There&#8217;s a few methods I use &#8211; and I&#8217;ll uncover the first method below and I&#8217;ll post a few other methods later this week.  This is really easy stuff to do &#8211; and if you do it consistently &#8211; you&#8217;ll have no problems getting numerous videos ranking for whatever you want.</p>
<p><strong>To get 25% Discount off the regular price for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.articlevideorobot.com/buy.html">Article Video Robot</a> &#8211; USE COUPON CODE: LA554</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/articlevideorobot"><img class="alignleft" title="Article Video Robot" src="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/images/avr.png" alt="" width="240" height="200" /></a>For the first method &#8211; I&#8217;ll use Article Video Robot (to be called AVR from here on). AVR is a very quick, but powerful way to build video <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a> for your sites. AVR creates videos from text (articles that you upload/post or ezinearticles.com articles) &#8211; the videos consist of background music, background images and a computerized voice narrating your articles.  There&#8217;s three ways I use AVR. First (and this is the quickest way) is the 1 click Ezine Article converter.  What this does is create a video based off of an ezinearticles.com article. When you choose this option, you are brought to a setup screen asking you a few questions &#8211; the URL of the ezinearticles.com article of course, and then any other options you want to configure (although none of them are required).  The options I usually configure are &#8220;Customize Video Background&#8221;, &#8220;Customize Article Narration Settings&#8221;, and &#8220;Customize Introduction Frame and Author&#8217;s Name&#8221;.  I make these changes for a few reasons &#8211; I change the video background usually to have no background or just a solid color (the backgrounds are pretty ugly). I change the article narration settings because it&#8217;s set to change the narrator voice for every paragraph.  I think that is annoying so I set it to only use one of the voices (&#8220;David&#8221;). Then I change the standard video introduction phrase &#8211; I make it so that it includes the keywords and title that I want.  I do this because Google is now starting to automatically create text (captions and transcripts) of videos that have speech in them so you want it to be as relevant as possible.</p>
<p>Once you set those options &#8211; it brings you to the last step &#8211; which is where you can preview and edit your video, which I never bother to do.  Trust me, these videos are not pretty, they are not the best looking/sounding videos.  They are there to give you video site backlinks, that&#8217;s all.  So I don&#8217;t really care that much about what they look like.  The other option in this step is to distribute your video.  This is important and is the main reason why you are doing this.  AVR not only creates the video, but it also syndicates it across 17+ video sites as well as publishes it to twitter, facebook and any other blog you own. You can, of course, download the video and distribute it yourself &#8211; but why bother when this can do it for you in seconds!</p>
<p>Once you select &#8220;Distribute Video&#8221; &#8211; it brings you to a page where you enter the title, description, tags, and category.  The title gets pre-entered as the title of the article &#8211; and assuming you used a good title with your keywords &#8211; it should be fine.  The description however, needs to be modified.  You MUST add your http://domain.com (obviously change that to the site you are promoting and remember to just add the URL, don&#8217;t use HTML) in the beginning of the description (make sure it&#8217;s the FIRST item on the description) &#8211; this is important because it&#8217;s where your backlinks come into play &#8211; plus it&#8217;s there so someone can check out your site if they are intrigued in doing so. Then for the rest of the description, make sure you add your keywords and any other relative information about your niche/video. The tags &#8211; obviously add your keywords, and choose your category (based off of YouTube categories).</p>
<p>Next, you get brought to the video site selection.  Here is where you can tell it your login information for all the video sites (you need to setup accounts first).  Once you enter and save this information, and future videos you produce, it will be all setup for you already.  So here &#8211; I will select all the sites and click Next.</p>
<p>The next page is the new &#8220;DynaSubmit&#8221; feature.  This is a great feature &#8211; it allows you to make other variations of your titles and descriptions and tags.  This is good so the search engines don&#8217;t see this as just an average video spamming run.  It makes the video submission look more independent of each other AND you can get more keyword penetration this way.  Change your titles and descriptions and you can target more keywords.  I usually will create at least a few variations here.  But you don&#8217;t have to. It&#8217;s not crucial.  Just a nice benefit.  It really depends on how much time I have and if I&#8217;m doing several at a time or not.  If you have the time &#8211; do it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it &#8211; You click &#8220;Next&#8221; and your video gets distributed to numerous video sites and you get the backlinks.  You can then view your progress and once they start posting, you can see a report which has a list of all the video URLs &#8211; which is very useful for further promotion.  Remember &#8211; never just get a backlink and let it &#8220;sit&#8221;.  It may never get indexed!  All that work for nothing.  So I always &#8220;promote the promoters&#8221; (usually with fast <a title="automation tools" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/category/marketing-tools/">automation tools</a> like <a title="Scrapebox" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/tag/scrapebox/">Scrapebox</a> and <a title="Xrumer" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">Xrumer</a>).</p>
<p>LARCENY TIP: You don&#8217;t have to own the ezine article to make a video out of it!!  Remember &#8211; all you are doing is providing the URL.  AVR doesn&#8217;t check to see if you are the author or not &#8211; so just go to ezinearticles.com &#8211; select the category that matches your niche &#8211; pick out some articles that target your keywords and you now have numerous videos to start spamming away!  Have Phun!</p>
<p>Also, there&#8217;s a few other ways to utilize Article Video Robot &#8211; and I&#8217;ll post more methods later this week!</p>

It actually allows you to VISUALLY diagram out your network, exactly how you want it &#8211; connecting your various hubs as complex as you need &#8211; to get the most link juice possible, and it does so completely automatically.  It performs the tasks needed to complete your linking network &#8211; and it does this on private servers so your CPU is not even being used.  This allows for absolutely NO slowdown on your wkstation, and you can go ahead and focus on things that matter.  No one, and I mean, no one likes doing link building.  I do it every day, and I hate it.  Especially when dealing with sub-par programs that are buggy and slow, and half the time they don&#8217;t even work properly.  I really have to say that SerpAssist is unique &#8211; although still having plenty of room to improve.  I&#8217;ll go through the steps you can take to build out a truly unique network that no other program could possibly build as elegantly as this program does (without any manual intervention on your part &#8211; besides initial setup).</p>
<p>When you first load up the program, you&#8217;ll notice that it logs you in, checks the program version, and updates the site list.  This is a small, but important detail because unlike other link building programs, SerpAssist relies on a central server that keeps an updated site definition file &#8211; so you don&#8217;t have to install new updates when various web 2.0 sites or bookmarking sites change (and they change often!).  When the central site list gets updated, so does your local version (when you reload it).</p>
<p>SerpAssist then brings you to a project list page, where you can either load a previously built project (which when highlighted, shows a preview of your link diagram, so you can see what that project looks like), or create a new project.  Creating a new project is extremely easy.</p>
<p>First, just give it a name and a main domain URL.  Then fill in the &#8220;Target Page&#8221; details (up to 3 I believe). It asks for a Target Page Title, URL, and keywords.  Then the next tab is the profile page. This is where you choose which sites to create accounts with, using yahoo email which it creates for you of course.  You can create several profiles &#8211; so you can group the accounts or use several accounts/profiles to build out a huge network.</p>
<p>So you create a new profile &#8211; it fills in random user details for you automatically, then you select your sites to create accounts on (you can highlight multiple/all sites at the same time).  Once you choose the sites to create, it adds them to the &#8220;Task List&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Task List is an interesting feature and something that sets this program apart from the rest.  This is where you submit your tasks to the central server, like creating accounts, confirming accounts, posting articles, pinging, RSS submitting, etc.  The best part about this is that you can schedule the tasks..  So you can have it create and confirm some accounts one day, have it post articles the next day, have it bookmark them the day after that, and so on.  It&#8217;s truly revolutionary the way this works, and you don&#8217;t even have to have the program running for it to work!  Like I said before &#8211; all the actual tasks that the program completes, they are all done on numerous central servers &#8211; NOT on your wkstation.  So there&#8217;s no need to leave the program running, hogging your CPU resources.  You can open up the task list at any time and check what has been queued, submitted for completion, and what has been completed (and when it was completed).</p>
<p>You can choose to have all the accounts created before you design your diagram, or you can just keep everything in the queue, go straight to the designing of your network, and THEN submit all the tasks. It uses a complex dependency algorithm, which allows the server to decide which tasks need to be completed before other tasks, in order to get all the linking to be logical (you can&#8217;t link to a site that&#8217;s not created yet because you don&#8217;t know the URL yet!).</p>
<p>So &#8211; you&#8217;ve created your profile, and sent all the account creation tasks to the task list. I usually submit account creation and confirmation tasks prior to building out the diagram, but it&#8217;s not required.  I also will create several profiles so I can create bigger, more complex networks (it will only create one account per site, per profile, so you may need more profiles created to allow for the same blog/website to be used more than once in the same link network).  The next step is to make sure you have your article(s) setup.  You need to have the content setup before you can assign &#8220;items&#8221; (or articles) to the various web 2.0 sites.  So you click on the &#8220;content library&#8221; tab and will need to click on &#8220;New&#8221; to create a new article.  It will ask for a name which is just like a project name, only to be seen by you, then a &#8220;subject&#8221;.  The Subject is spinable and is used in various places &#8211; it&#8217;s used as the article title for web 2.0 sites and for bookmark sites &#8211; and the description in bookmark sites is hard coded to have something like &#8220;article about [keyword]&#8221; (although this may change in future releases).  The next thing is the keywords and tags. These are used in the obvious places, but also in the profile anchor text so choose wisely.</p>
<p>In the actual article content &#8211; you paste in your spun content or you can spin it there (there&#8217;s a basic thesaurus available but I always do my spinning in TheBestSpinner and just copy/paste).  One thing that&#8217;s special about this is the links.  You need to highlight your anchor text in your article and press &#8220;Add Link&#8221; button.  This puts a LINK# tag around them.  It will add a LINK1 tag for your first link, and a LINK2 tag for your second link, and so on.  The latest version of SerpAssist will now spin your article locally when you choose an article to be associated to a blog on your diagram &#8211; so that way, if you have links in spun variations &#8211; it will actually know to only allow you to use the links that are output in that version of the spun article. So if you have a spun sentence and it has a link with anchor text 1 in one variation, and you have another variation with anchor text 2 &#8211; when you build out your network diagram and choose what links to use to target whatever site &#8211; it will actually show you the anchor 1 text if that&#8217;s what was randomly chosen or anchor 2 text if that was the version that was chosen.  Note: You might want to manually edit the link tags to show the same link # if it&#8217;s just another spun variation of the same link. During network diagram design &#8211; you will be selecting your article (item) and what links point to where.  SerpAssist is smart enough to only allow you to link to a site if that link shows up in that version of the spun article, so if you screw up with the spinning, its not a big deal &#8211; just edit your article appropriately.  Or you can choose to not spin your links but I recommend it because it will add more variation to your articles.</p>
<p>Okay &#8211; So you&#8217;ve created the accounts, you&#8217;ve created the articles &#8211; now you need to design the network.  This is where it gets interesting.  Because it&#8217;s visual &#8211; you can come up with the most intricate link network Google has ever seen <img src='http://www.marketingplaythings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  When building your diagram out &#8211; you drag a &#8220;node&#8221; to the blank page (nodes available right now are target pages, blog pages, feeder pages which are the same thing as blog pages &#8211; it&#8217;s just another label you can use, profile links, and bookmarks)  and it then will ask you what you want it to be, ie. what site to use, using what account, and depending on the type of node, what article to use, what keyword to use as anchor text if its a profile link, etc.  Then you can click and hold the node, and drag the cursor towards another node, and it will draw an arrow signifying that you are linking it to the other node.  Then a pop-up asks you what link to use (remember you setup LINK1&#8217;s and LINK2&#8217;s and so on, in the article content).  It&#8217;s intelligent to know which anchor text or links are being output from the spun content so you will never be choosing a link that won&#8217;t be there (very important!). Another note &#8211; when you drag a blog node and set it up with the site details &#8211; you can also right click on it and select &#8220;blog properties&#8221; &#8211; and it will pop up showing the details of the blog but it also allows you to select the RSS sites you want it to submit to.  Right now, if you don&#8217;t do that, no rss submissions will get added to the task list so remember to do this.  Again, automatic RSS tasks are in the works (in a future release).</p>
<p>About bookmarks &#8211; each bookmark node can represent more than one bookmark site.  So you only need to drag one per target (that you want bookmarked).  For instance, if you want your livejournal site bookmarked, you drag a bookmark node out &#8211; and then click and hold to draw the arrow to target the site you want bookmarked.  Then you right click it and you can choose the bookmark sites and accounts you want to use to bookmark that target.  So if you want 4 bookmarks for a blog on your diagram, you don&#8217;t need to drag 4 bookmark nodes out, just one, and select 4 accounts.  You can even select multiple accounts of the same bookmark site &#8211; to make it look like multiple people are bookmarking your sites (this is completely natural and normal if you have quality content).  Another feature is Auto Bookmarking.  How this works is when you are building your network &#8211; and adding web 2.0 nodes &#8211; you can drag a bookmarking node and connect it to the web 2.0 node and as long as that blog node has not been created yet &#8211; it will automatically bookmark that web 2.0 site (with all the bookmark accounts you have setup) once it gets posted with no intervention on your part whatsoever.  If the web 2.0 site is already posted, you can of course, still bookmark it, but you have to specify which accounts to use, and submit the tasks just like all the other tasks.</p>
<p>ALSO!!  The most important feature of this program is the SCHEDULER.  Think about it &#8211; you could build a network 5 layers deep &#8211; and have it add a new layer EVERY DAY.  Even more so &#8211; have it add bookmarks and profile links day after day, or week after week. THIS IS VERY POWERFUL.  This is the most desired feature of any SEO link builder.  And I have to say &#8211; this program does it very well.  When you create your network &#8211; you&#8217;ll be dragging various &#8220;nodes&#8221; onto the page and linking them up, and choosing the article to use (I suggest using at least one article per &#8220;layer&#8221; &#8211; spun), and choosing the bookmark nodes to link to them (there will be an option in the future, to toggle automatic bookmarking and profile linking to all nodes &#8211; or you can still do it manually if you want to add more to one area of the network) &#8211; every time you add a node and link it to another node or target page, you are creating a &#8220;task&#8221;.  Then you can open your task list and submit the task right away or you can choose a specific date to have it completed (I will submit the first layer of sites immediately but anything after that gets &#8220;scheduled&#8221;).  Think about it &#8211; create your blogs &#8211; have them link to a target page, then the next day you can have them bookmarked, then the third day you can have profile links created and linked (which by the way &#8211; the profile sites&#8217; accounts and any other sites&#8217; accounts can be created and confirmed one day and you can add links to them in the FUTURE. Because the account creation is one task, the confirmation of the account is another task, and the adding of links is another task &#8211; and you can schedule every aspect of this. This is PERFECT for naturally letting your profile &#8220;sit&#8221; before spamming it with your links.   One tip about the scheduling&#8230;  When you are looking at your network diagram &#8211; it&#8217;s easy to tell which sites you would want scheduled, etc..  But when you go to schedule the tasks &#8211; it&#8217;s not so easy to tell.  Because it&#8217;s just a list of accounts and site names&#8230;  But you can double click on an item to see the relative information, like email profile, and account name, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>The only thing left for you to do is to submit the tasks for completion.  Assuming there aren&#8217;t any problems with account creation and confirmation (it&#8217;s been going pretty smooth for me with a few exceptions) &#8211; the tasks get completed within minutes (sometimes faster).  You then get any finalized URLS in the URL manager.  What I&#8217;ll do is take those urls and create a new project and add them as target pages to build out even bigger networks..  There is no limit to what you can do.  I&#8217;ve been beta testing this since the beginning and I have to say &#8211; it&#8217;s been getting better every day and it will continue to do so.  Another great aspect about having the tasks completed at offsite servers is that the developer can monitor any issues&#8230; So if accounts aren&#8217;t getting created or a web 2.0 site changes their registration page &#8211; he sees that there are problems and fixes them to make sure everything is running smoothly.  This way, the developer sees and knows about the problems before anyone even submits a bug report or support request.  Just the other day, Propeller changed something about their registration, so instead of the tasks failing, the developer saw that they weren&#8217;t working, and even before he fixed the problem, he made sure the accounts were created.  Now that is good support!!</p>
<p>So you have your accounts created and confirmed, your articles setup, spun and linked, and your diagram drawn out (you&#8217;ll love that part).  Once a task gets completed, the associated URL gets added to the URL manager.  There you can double check to make sure all your links are how they should be.  Just FYI &#8211; I haven&#8217;t had any problems with this. It&#8217;s fantastic &#8211; After completing a very complex link network &#8211; I checked all the articles/blogs and they are linked to each site exactly how I wanted them to be.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no other program that does this.  PERIOD.</p>
<p>You can also set the general options in the program to auto ping everything.  You must either add your own ping server URLs (you can find ping lists everywhere &#8211; just google it) or you can just turn on the &#8220;pingler&#8221; option which is a ping aggregator &#8211; but remember that pingler will use a lot of decaptcher credits and you only get 200 for free per month.  You can always add your own decaptcher account though &#8211; and I recommend you do so (because you will go through the free credits very quickly).</p>
<p>Another good feature is the export feature.  You can export your diagram and/or complete project &#8211; so you could give them to others to duplicate or grow upon (think: outsourcers).</p>
<p>There is one limitation but it has a sort of a plus side to it.  As it stands right now &#8211; you can only create 2 sets of accounts (of all the sites) PER project and only 8 total per day.  BUT you can still SCHEDULE other account creation tasks for future days. This is subject to change depending on user needs, etc. I was initially bummed out from this but then I realized one important thing&#8230;  It forces you to GROW your network naturally.  You can still build out your entire network all at once &#8211; it&#8217;s just that the accounts for the outer rims of your network might not be created right away and they won&#8217;t get posted right away&#8230;  but that&#8217;s a good thing &#8211; you don&#8217;t want to build too many links in a day anyways..  You can get around this limitation by using your own proxies (the limitation is because there are only so many proxies available &#8211; which by the way are always used and are included in the subscription cost.  Plus the dev is always getting new proxies to avoid account banning).</p>
<p>The only other downside is that there is only so many targets available right now, but that will definitely grow.  Think about it &#8211; Senuke only had like 10 when it was in beta &#8211; now there&#8217;s hundreds.  This will be similar.  And when the site list gets updated &#8211; you don&#8217;t even have to update the program.  The site list gets updated from the central server.  You just might have to reload your program (which by the way, there&#8217;s no reason to even keep the program running since all the tasks are performed on a central server).</p>
<p>Also &#8211; there are MANY more exciting features to come.  Like a button where it will literally build you out a random link network so all you have to do is upload your article content and that&#8217;s it!  And a button to auto-set the scheduling to have all the tasks be spread out randomly over a week or whatever you set&#8230; (as it is right now &#8211; you need to select multiple tasks and choose a date or select one task and choose a date).</p>
<p>One more note &#8211; When submitting tasks (especially posting tasks) &#8211; remember to check your task list every so often &#8211; because right now, the RSS feed tasks and the pinging aren&#8217;t completely automatic.  The pinging tasks do get created automatically but you still have to submit the tasks &#8211; but the RSS feeds &#8211; you need to right click on your blog node and select the RSS feeds that you want it to submit to.  Once the blog has been posted &#8211; your RSS feed submission tasks will be pending and you have to load the task list to submit them.  I&#8217;m guessing that this will all be more automated in the future &#8211; since there&#8217;s no real reason why you wouldn&#8217;t want the RSS feeds to be submitted.  Keep something in mind though (about RSS submissions) &#8211; RSS aggregators do NOT like feeds with one item in them.  Some will accept them, some won&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s better to have multiple items though &#8211; that&#8217;s what a feed is &#8211; a list of multiple posts&#8230;  So what I do, in addition to the normal submissions, is I take the RSS feeds (the RSS feed URLs do get added to the URL manager) and mash them together to create one big feed &#8211; and then submit them at the same time with RSS Submit (another program).  Perhaps something like this will get added to SerpAssist.  The best part about this program is that the developer listens to his users and testers &#8211; so if there&#8217;s a feature missing or something isn&#8217;t working right &#8211; it will get added/fixed.  I am thinking of some amazing features and I speak to the developer all the time (through beta testing, etc) and he also has some amazing ideas so I really think you need to jump on this program right away.  With all the additions that are going to be added to this program, there&#8217;s no way he will be able to keep the price so low.  Plus you get a $20 discount if you use my link below.  It&#8217;s selling retail at $97 a month &#8211; but for my subscribers and people reading this review &#8211; it&#8217;s only $77.  I guarantee this price won&#8217;t last though, so I definitely recommend you act soon.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this program and it&#8217;s just in its infancy.  I gave it 9 stars out of 10 &#8211; and the only reason it&#8217;s not 10 stars is because of the site list.  There needs to be more targets &#8211; but rest assured, the developer is actively working on this and will add more sites as soon as possible.  I am confident that this program will become a 10 star Larceny rating real soon!  <img src='http://www.marketingplaythings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you ever have trusted my opinion &#8211; take heed to this one, because I truly think this program is revolutionary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/synnd">Synnd</a> is a program from Social Media Science.  It&#8217;s a huge network of users, which all the users have access to each others bookmarking, twitter, and syndication accounts.  What does this mean?  It allows you to setup a campaign, where you can have the program bookmark your sites, or tweet your sites, or get voted and comments to your digg, Mixx, and Reddit submissions.  If you are promoting the right type of content, it can be extremely helpful.</p>
<p>To be honest &#8211; I thought it was amazing at first. The theory is good, and it executes it extremely well.  The only problem was the lack of services it allowed.  Bookmarking?  That can only take you so far.  Sure, it increased my traffic a LOT at first &#8211; but that slowly died, due to getting links from the same sites..  It was limited to like 10 bookmarking sites, Digg, Mixx, Reddit, and Twitter (although now I think they increased the bookmarking sites to 15 or 20).  That&#8217;s great to get the &#8220;buzz&#8221; out, but it has diminishing returns in the long run.  And it&#8217;s a little expensive (although not as bad as some).</p>
<p>I actually let my account go recently.  I just wasn&#8217;t seeing the returns I wanted.  And it&#8217;s probably my fault.  See, I only have so much time, and I was just trying to limit everything I was involved with and this didn&#8217;t make the cut.  I have since renewed my account due to these upcoming changes, and I didn&#8217;t want to get stuck with a higher price (the price will most definitely go up with these changes come about).</p>
<p>This is about to change&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/synnd">Check Out Synnd Now! There&#8217;s a Free Trial</a></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a few updates coming out in a month or two that will increase the # of services that this program can perform for you.  HUGE improvements&#8230;  Here&#8217;s what they have in store (from an email I received from them):</p>
<p><strong>Article Distribution Module (tentative June 15th release)</strong></p>
<p>This is article distribution to the top 10 article networks that have an impact on SEO. You&#8217;ll be able to assign spinning tags to your articles so that unique versions of the article are submitted to each network. This is a great tool to help build incoming link love to deep pages of your website or blog for specific anchor text key terms.</p>
<p><strong> RSS Aggregator Module (tentative June 1st release)</strong></p>
<p>The Synnd RSS Aggregator will submit your latest content to the top RSS aggregators on the web. This will allow your new content to get indexed very quickly and also boosts your search engine juice.</p>
<p><strong>Pinger Module Module (tentative June 1st release)</strong></p>
<p>The Synnd Pinger Module will ping your new content to the top update services on the web that the search engines crawl on a regular basis. This will help get your content indexed faster and will allow the search engines to crawl even the deepest content on your website or blog.</p>
<p><strong>Video Distribution (tentative June 15th release)</strong></p>
<p>With the Synnd Video Distribution module you&#8217;ll be able to have your video automatically distributed to the top 30 video networks. Submit 1 video to Synnd and Synnd will then upload your video to the 30 networks automatically while you do other things.</p>
<p><strong>Video Viewing, rating and commenting (tentative August 1st release)</strong></p>
<p>Already have a video distributed? &#8230; Well how about now increasing the visibility of your videos by getting views, ratings and comments on your video. For example&#8230; In YouTube it is proven that the more views, ratings and comments a video gets, the higher it ranks in YouTube&#8230; The higher it ranks in YouTube, the higher the video ranks in the Google&#8230; Simple.</p>
<p>That feature is really cool.  Getting youtube views is not as easy as it once was, and this will do it for you.</p>
<p><strong>Content Spinning (tentative July 15th release)</strong></p>
<p>We will be introducing a system which will allow you to automatically create spun variations on your Synnd bookmarking and article distribution campaigns. With the click of a button your title, description and tags will be spun FOR YOU. No more hand coding tags or using outside services to create the spinning syntax for your bookmarking and article distribution campaigns.</p>
<p>&#8211; There&#8217;s also a blog commenting module that will have people comment on your blog posts. They are selling &#8220;professional writers&#8217; comments&#8221; at $2 a pop.  Personally &#8211; I think that is ridiculous and would never pay for such a lame service.  BUT you don&#8217;t have to use that feature.  I won&#8217;t.  </p>
<p>These updates are huge.  I think this is going to be a fantastic program and will greatly increase your rankings if used properly.</p>
<p>When I have played with the features enough &#8211; I&#8217;ll write a report on how you can use this service to the best of it&#8217;s ability.  There&#8217;s so many things you can do with it (soon).  </p>
<p>NOTE: The current price is $67 a month.  Once those other features are released, I would almost guarantee this price will be increased so get in NOW while you can at such a low price.  This is not some tactic &#8230;  it&#8217;s not my product..  Before these updates were scheduled, I probably wouldn&#8217;t tell you to buy this.  But I truly, honestly believe that the price WILL go up when those features are released &#8211; I just can&#8217;t imagine them not increasing it. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/synnd">Click Here Now To Get These Amazing Updates When They Come Out!</a></p>
<p>When you first sign up, and get the program to install on your wkstation (it runs in the background and you&#8217;ll never know it&#8217;s running &#8211; all it does is tunnel traffic through your IP so that the services think it&#8217;s being run from your wkstation, but it&#8217;s not &#8211; it&#8217;s ran on Synnd servers) and you&#8217;ll get several tutorials.  **READ THE TUTORIALS AND GUIDES**  They are very helpful and you will not be using this program to it&#8217;s full potential if you don&#8217;t.  Trust me &#8211; I&#8217;m always the one that messes with the program before ever looking at a manual, but I benefitted greatly once I did read them and so will you.</p>
<p>Also &#8211; the program is based on credits.  You get X many a month &#8211; depending on the option you chose (you can pay more monthly to get more credits or you can pay for a lifetime subscription, which, if you can afford it, I highly recommend it!  And it won&#8217;t give them all to you at once.  It gives you so many a day.  What you can do to get started quickly, is to assign jobs to your account and it will give you more credits.  The more jobs you assign, the more credits you can use to create campaigns.  You&#8217;ll have to do this at first, but only in the beginning.  Once you get going, you&#8217;ll start getting auto-credits and you&#8217;ll have enough to run your campaigns.</p>
<p>Try it out &#8211; It&#8217;s really going to be great, and I highly recommend it.  You get a free trial (I think it&#8217;s a week or something) &#8211; so if you don&#8217;t like it, just cancel your subscription.  It&#8217;s easy.</p>

<p>Serpassist Full Version &#8211; </p>
<p>SerpAssist first released a program that allowed you to develop diagrams for your link building networks.  Helpful I guess, but this was just a test I think.  Because they soon released a beta (not to the public but I was lucky enough to be one of the ones testing this interesting software) &#8211; that allowed you to not only diagram your network, but it actually created the network as well.  It allows you to enter your spun article, setup your diagram, and it will actually create the accounts and post the content with your links, and it links the network together exactly how you create your network diagram.  It&#8217;s just starting out so I&#8217;ll release more details when it&#8217;s getting closer to release date.  But so far, so good.  Very interesting stuff.  You can actually design a network FIRST, and then it goes and builds it out FOR you.  Very cool &#8211; but so far, a little buggy but it gets better daily. I&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>
<p>When it gets released &#8211; I&#8217;ll come up with a full review so you can decide for yourself if this is worth getting.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>No &#8211; it&#8217;s not just another Twitter tool.  It&#8217;s an autoblog plugin for Wordpress.  In fact, you don&#8217;t even have to use the twitter features and it&#8217;s still an amazing autoblogging tool.  Here&#8217;s the basics (I&#8217;ll go into more detail below):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com/wp-tweetbomb">Buy WPTweetBomb Now</a></p>
<h2>What WPTweetBomb does:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>It pulls content from various sources</strong> (Google News, Google Blog Search, Yahoo News, Yahoo Answers, Ezine Articles, Digg, and Custom RSS Feeds).</li>
<li><strong>Trends: </strong>You can have it pull content based on some general trendy keywords (either from Twitter Trends, or Google Trends, or both), or you can create custom keyword lists.  If you want to get more targeted blog content &#8211; I definitely recommend using the custom keywords ONLY. It seems to work better for more general keywords, but you&#8217;ll have to test this (WPTweetBomb provides great testing tools to see what content the keywords will bring up).  But if you are creating blogs for a private network and just need some content going, the Twitter/Google Trends will work great &#8211; plus bring in some great traffic.</li>
<li><strong>Twitter functionality</strong> (obviously it has some amazing twitter features, hence the name): It will tweet all your posts.  But this is what separates this from an ordinary post-to-twitter plugin: It posts to NUMEROUS accounts &#8211; and also will FOLLOW other twitter accounts every time it posts. You can set how many accounts to post to (per post) and how many people it will follow (per post).  Its recommended to have at LEAST the same # of accounts imported, as the # of posts you plan to post on a daily basis.  In other words &#8211; if you have this post 50 times a day, you need at LEAST 50 twitter accounts imported.  The # of posts per day is set by your cron job&#8217;s schedule (it tells you how often to have the cron job run for X amount of posts/daily).  Of course &#8211; since you are posting to multiple twitter accounts every single day &#8211; you&#8217;ll want to have proxies setup (this requirement is dependent on how hard you plan to hit twitter &#8211; and again, WPTweetbomb gives you a handy &#8220;safety calculator&#8221; to test this).  I recommend just buying a hundred twitter accounts (you can find sources to buy them from the wptweetbomb forum you&#8217;ll get access to)</li>
<li><strong>Auto Indexer:</strong> On the top of the setup page &#8211; you&#8217;ll see your site&#8217;s statistics, which are # of pages/posts indexed out of total # of pages/posts, your page rank, # of posts done daily/weekly/total, and your <a title="backlinks" href="http://www.marketingplaythings.com">backlinks</a> #&#8217;s.  What the auto indexer does, is for all those posts that are not yet indexed, it will tweet them <strong>more</strong>, on a random basis.  A Lot more&#8230;  The idea is that twitter will help get your posts indexed.  This plugin definitely does a good job of getting sites&#8217; indexed so it appears this theory is correct, although I haven&#8217;t done extensive testing yet.</li>
<li><strong>Content Blocks:</strong> You can create content blocks &#8211; which is just telling the plugin what content to pull, with what keywords, and to which categories. You can have the posts include images, remove or keep in links/emails, videos, tags, credit the source, and even de-duping the content. What&#8217;s cool about the content block feature is that there&#8217;s an advanced content block creator syntax so you can create mass amounts of categories and content blocks all at once, by following a simple syntax:
<p>Parent Category Name # keyword1, keyword2, keyword3<br />
&#8211; Sub Category Name # keyword4, keyword5, keyword6<br />
&#8211; Sub Category Name2 # keyword7, keyword8, keyword9</p>
<p>And so on&#8230; </p>
<p>It then creates all the content blocks, using those categories (that it will create for you), and those keywords you assign. It allows you to create an extremely organized blog (more so than I do manually, that&#8217;s for sure!)</li>
<li><strong>Ad Blocks:</strong> You can create ad blocks using Amazon, Clickbank, Adsense, Commission Junction, and any other custom HTML ads &#8211; and you can create complex rule systems.  For example, you can have clickbank ads showing for on the sidebar for this category, but html ads on the post for another category, etc.  It can get as complex as you want it &#8211; so you can specify the best ads to target certain posts&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Bonus Tools</strong> include an instant links tool &#8211; where it will take your domain and post it on all the stats sites.  Usually will help to get your site indexed.  Again &#8211; I haven&#8217;t done too much testing on this, but from my experience, these links don&#8217;t help that much.  As usual, test for yourself.  Another great bonus is the Twitter account checker.  When you purchase bulk twitter accounts &#8211; it&#8217;s incredibly boring to check all the accounts to make sure they are valid, and not deleted.  With the account checker &#8211; you can check them all in a few seconds.  It even tells you how many people are following/followed and how many tweets there are in the account.  Very handy.</li>
</ul>
<p>WPTweetBomb is a fantastic plugin.  It&#8217;s incredibly easy to use, and there are videos and a forum to help you if you need it.  It&#8217;s pretty easy to get traffic depending on the keywords you are targeting, but just like any other site &#8211; the plugin isn&#8217;t going to do everything. You still need to promote the site to gain traction.  The promotion strategy will be the same as any other site you do.  I&#8217;ll post some of my general strategies I use for every site I create, in an upcoming post.</p>

<h3 style=\"color: #000;\">SENuke is the most powerful internet marketing software I&#8217;ve come across &#8211; EVER!</h3>
<p>There really is nothing that compares to it.  There&#8217;s a few other software tools that do something similar (Like Brute Force SEO Software), but nothing like SENuke.

<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.senuke.com/membership/?special-offer=18007"><img src="http://www.senuke.com/Banners/senuke2404.gif" border="1" alt="SEnuke Complete Marketing Software" align="right" /></a>This software will help you find profitable niches, deterimine your competition, find high paying affiliate products and most importantly SEnuke will let you dominate up to three pages of Google listings for your niche.</p>
